Research Interest
Research interest includes developing computer models to study environmental issues
such as air pollution. Ozone in the stratosphere has been studied by including various
subroutines as a means of further developing an existing stratospheric global chemical
transport model. I am interested in writing and using computer programs to study the
effect of air pollutants on climate, health, agriculture, etc.
AREA OF SPECIALIZATION
Environmental research and modelling. Current research interest includes air pollution studies. Current ongoing research includes the development of air pollution models using cellular automata approach.
